Am thinking buying this 30.06 converted to shotgun. Would welcome any comments or info you guys can provide age etc. Unfortuately the only way I can buy it in UK is as a shotgun nice looking weapon though,

As far as collector value goes, it has none. If it worth it to you, by all means, buy it. IMHO the price is a little high, but that based on what I believe the firearm would bring in it's condition here in the States.
